Subject: Pietenpol-List: need some quick and easy infoWell, Quick and easy for you maybe, confusing for me!I cut the first wood today and would like to continue that process. I am out of the country all next week beginning tomorrow. I would like to put together a plywood order, however from all that I have seen and read there all types ofplywood types, grades, types and sized, all of which add to the confusion.Can someone please provide me with a basic plywood order list by size grade and type Ill need to get to a completed project, in the quantities sizes and type I should be ordering. I really have no desire to waste anymore time waitingfor materials so I can order on line Monday and hopefully have the stuff I need by the time I get back on Friday, or at least have it in transit.Naturally if there is anything I can use from home depot please advise me by type thickness and quantity. I am all for going out to get what I need but those things I cant pick up I want to get moving ASAP.I appreciate any and all assistance offered and given, please be as specific as possible and if you can tell me what each size is going to be used for. I have a full set of prints but the variety seems so great I would like to know what the best and most available choices and selections areThanksJohn________________________________________________________________________________
